Peer Groups Defined

There are two kinds of Peer Group Reports in Munetrix; Automatic and Custom.

Automatic Peer Groups are groupings of local units created by Munetrix; typically by geographic location.

Custom Peer Groups are groupings of local units that you build using your own criteria. To generate custom peer group reports you must first create a Peer Group. Creating a Peer Group is a two-step process:

1.   Create a header record for the group where you provide a name for the group and method of generating averages for comparison

2.   Add the desired municipalities or school districts that you want included in the group
